Abstract:
A modular device includes base and color sensing portions. The color sensing portion has a face, a controlled light source offset from the face to define an interior, the face configured to engage a target surface about a perimeter of the device housing wherein ambient light is restricted from entering the interior. A color sensor receives light reflected from the target surface and generates output signals representative of a surface color. The base portion communicates with the color sensor and a user device having a hosted program which generates a user interface enabling users to provide control input for the color sensor. The program further receives the output signals from the color sensing device and displays a first image of the detected color, and displays a second image of a user-selected color beside the first image. Color data values are further displayed corresponding to the difference between displayed colors.
Abstract:
A colorimeter with multiple sensings of light to provide higher accuracy measurements of the primaries of a human-standard observer based color space is provided. This color space (target color space) must have the characteristic of two chromaticity coordinates and an achromatic primary like CIELAB, CIELUV or xyY in CIE 1931. The calibration of the device includes training with a set of calibration illuminants. Two sets of calibration-factors are determined. The first set of calibration factors yields intensity of primaries optimized with respect to chromaticity, the second set yields the optimized intensity of the achromatic primary. The combination of these sets of calibration factors enable the colorimeter to deliver values of that light with respect to three primaries of a human-standard-observer-based color space optimized with respect to chromaticity and the achromatic primary.

To provide an optical sensor, an electronic apparatus, etc. that suppress reduction of spectroscopic characteristics. The optical sensor includes a light receiving element, an optical filter 140 that transmits light having a specific wavelength of incident light with respect to a light receiving region of the light receiving element, and an angle limiting filter 120 that limits an incident angle of the incident light transmitted through the optical filter 140. Supposing that a limitation angle of the angle limiting filter 120 is ¸A, a height from an upper surface of the angle limiting filter 120 to an upper surface of the optical filter is RTP, and a distance from an end of the optical filter 140 to an end of an aperture of the angle limiting filter 120 in a plan view with respect to the upper surface of the angle limiting filter 120 is an overlap distance OV, tan -1 (OV/RTP) > ¸A is satisfied.

Abstract:
In a measuring probe (40) according to the present invention, measuring light is incident onto a single fiber (13C, 14C, 15C) before being received by a light-receiving sensor (13B, 14B, 15B) through an interference filter (13A, 14A, 15A). The interference filter (13A, 14A, 15A) is formed to obtain a transmittance characteristic corresponding to a measurement parameter, depending on a condition of an intensity distribution with respect to incidents angles of light incident onto the interference filter (13A, 14A, 15A). Thus, the measuring probe (40) according to the present invention can reduce an influence of a deviation in the transmittance characteristic due to incident angles, even with use of the interference filter (13A , 14A, 15A).
